Pain

Gess seems to be feeling better, lung-wise, but the pain is still a persistent issue.  It seems like at least once a week the pain gets so bad that he needs to take demoral.  I don't know what is causing the pain and I don't know how to fix it.  We see the pain clinic on Friday, but honestly I am pessimistic about their ability to figure out what is going on.  Is this what it is going to be like from now on?  There has to be another answer, but what?
